I don't think it's a big secret that I like Michael Jacobs.  He's pretty much the best person ever, plus he's cute. 

Nine years ago, we were married in the St. Louis, Missouri temple.  I've made some good decisions in my life, but that was by far the best one.  It's cliché to say, but it's amazing how much more I love him now than I did then. 

Mike and I when we were just babies, newly engaged.

 I'm so thankful to be married to my best friend.  He helps me, I help him, we help the kids (CONSTANTLY), and we grow as a couple and a family.  I'm so happy, and I love him lots and lots!

And to think....the girl in this picture married the best guy in the universe.  Miracles do exist. 

But this picture DEFINITELY shouldn't exist.  I mean, seriously. I have to laugh every time I run across it.  (FYI, I was not on board with the rose.)

 Oh, 15 year old Karen.  What were we thinking?  We've come a long way, baby.
